Birthright: Mothering Across Difference (DVD)
BIRTHRIGHT shows how motherhood transforms womanhood today, using the community of Santa Barbara as the setting for one of the most under-represented phenomena in film today. It begins with birthing as a powerful experience that brings together tremendous pain and terror with the beauty of bringing a life into the world. The experience opens up a world where intimate relations with partners, friends and the self transform completely. Three interview formats dramatize the social pressures women face including the physical, moral and psychological burdens of giving birth and rearing young children, what Sharon Hays calls “the cultural contradictions of motherhood.”
